Ratchet looked at the starbase on the screen "Look at it.... All those legendary ships that managed to make they name into history.... And also the ancient Earth Spacedock One."
Rhys looked admiringly at the display of ships of various kinds around the museum. Ratchet couldn't help but admire several ships but there were a few that he really fell in love with. Voyager, Defiant, Kirk's Enterprise A, his grandfather Picard's Stargazer.
Chu'Lak looked at his console "Incoming call from the museum." Ratchet stood up straightening his uniform. "On screen."

"Captain."
Ratchet looked serious "Commodore."
"Welcome to Athan Prime, crew of the USS Verity. I hear you have found it interesting." Geordi looked curious as Ratchet nodded "We need the help of a legendary mechanic, you commodore. We found a ship but are having difficulty investigating it."
Geordi nodded "Understood. We're heading aboard the USS Verity by transporter. I'll be there shortly."
Ratchet nodded as the communication was terminated. The Lombax keyed a couple of buttons on the seat "Verity crew, this is the captain speaking. Right now we are in the Starfleet museum, I'm sure some of you visited this place where legendary ships are captained by legendary captains now are resting here. Those of you who did not have the opportunity you can ask for special permission to visit the museum by consulting with the department head you work for. Ratchet out."
Ratchet stood up along with Rhys and they walked to the transporter pad behind the bridge.
FWEEEEMMMMMMM
Minutes later...
Three people appeared the transporter as the oldest one looked serious "During every nanosecond my body disintegrated in the transporter. I can't help but wonder if I should greet with professionalism or.... A family hug."
Ratchet just smiled "Which do you prefer, Commodore? ." After hearing that the older one held out his arms as the Lombax hugged him happily to his uncle "I'm glad to see you again Uncle Geordi."
